Are grant funds available to Wisconsin school districts to support services for the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Education makes grant funds available to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to assist school districts in serving homeless students. These federal competitive-grant funds help local educational agencies (LEAs) develop programs to facilitate school enrollment, attendance, and the academic success of homeless children and youth. The grant program also helps LEAs develop and adopt best practices to serve homeless children and youth (see http://dpi.wi.gov/homeless/grant_funded.html).
